The first door that openedfor me led, instead, to elementaryschool classrooms. i fell in love withteaching and was crestfallen when,after 11 years, i was redirected intoeducational television. The dioceseof Brooklyn had acquired a televisionchannel for direct teaching, and itsschool superintendents had askedthe superiors of religious communi-ties to donate one of their teachers tothis new enterprise. other educatorsand lay media practitioners becamementors and friends. We were pio-neers of this new venture and ourdays were filled with challenges andopportunities.
